October 19, 200619 yr I purchased a 24" iMac with the following config2GB RAM7600 256MB CardCore 2 Duo1920 x 1200 24" monitorI installed XP, via Boot Camp and tried the new demoI stuck everything on medium to high settings, and there was no problems getting smooth 25fps (ensuring that I was flying around the trickier sections...not just water)I then stuck everything on Max (sliders to the right). I was expecting that I had no business doing this, as FSX is clearly designed for future machines, and besides it looks good on medium to high settings anyway. Oh, and the mad thing is, that I was running it in windowed mode...AT THE FULL 1920 x 1200 RESOLUTION. Obviously it looked beautiful.So I was expecting 2 fps.Well, it managed around the 10 - 20 fps range. I tried to stick to the really difficult sections with loads of trees and buildings etc.So in essence, I pushed it to extremes, and it still performed, playably.I would imagine that playing it at typical settings would allow it to perform admirably without breaking into a sweat.So this gives me confidence that I will should no problems enoying the final version (when it arrives through the post).Love my Mac! (seriously... I do!)
